For the first time, Karl felt like he has his own sister. He had been so alone after his mother and father die.
And his other relatives were exterminated. He was left all alone.
He was also thankful to Zephyr as that person always helps him to get through hell and shares things with him.
Karl thought of him as a brother and a family.
"Thank you, sister."
‘She's hurt. I'll do everything not to drag her down.’
"It hasn't started yet. Who knows? Maybe we'll both die in here."
"That sounds so ominous."
"It sure is. Let's go." Nesrin chuckled and tightly hold onto his shoulder.
Opening her eyes, the sight in front of her was a large piece of land. There was lush tress around and birds flying everywhere.
Looking up, there seems to be a large transparent dome that cages them.
"What a large dome. Is it made of spirit energy?"
"Yes. It is to protect the people living closer in the vicinity. The purpose of this dome was to cage the monsters.”
“Monsters, huh?”
...
Students in the Imperial Academy sat down as they stared at the transparent screen, showing the appearance of the participants.
One of the screens shows Karl and Nesrin walking around.
"Tch. That trash actually comes with the new student."
"It finds himself a protector."
"I wonder who would fight each other first."
BOOM!
Nesrin immediately pulled Karl after sensing a dangerous presence directed at him.
Above the dome shows the picture of Karl and another student.
It was a sign that these two would be facing each other to fight.
However, this person can cultivate and Karl is just a waste!
With a punch condense with spirit energy it cause a huge pit on the ground.
If Nesrin didn’t pull Karl away, his head would have been blown off!
"Are you trying to kill him?" Nesrin glared at the person.
The man landed on the ground with a smirk.
If she let Karl died in front of her, what used is her strength? If everyone in her original world knows of this, she would be a laughing stock! Her, the monster, actually cannot protect a person? I guess, she’s not that scary anymore.
Thinking about those bastards made Nesrin’s brows twitch.
"I didn't think you would notice. You have fast reflexes. I'm impressed."
"You probably don't know this, once your picture shows up in there with another challenger, you have to fight them until one admitted defeat."
"I'm not stupid enough not to know the event rules when I know someone would sabotage me to be in here.”
"Leave Karl alone. I will fight you instead.”
"Sister! You don't have to! I will admit defeat right now!”
A sword spear suddenly appears on Nesrin’s hand. Its presence is majestic. Its handle fits in her hand. Not only is its presence majestic but its appearance is marvelous.
Nesrin holding that weapon is striking.
"Karl, even a weak person can grow strong. You're still young and have a lot of opportunities."
"If you stay close to me, I promise you, you will get everything you desire."
["Stay close to me and get me everything I desire." The Queen said in a devilish whisper.]
After charging towards the man. Karl who was about to stop her is separated by the sudden appearance of a transparent wall.
Why are you so kind to me? We just met a few days ago.
Karl bangs his small fist into the wall as he watches Nesrin fought for his stead.
Why are you doing this? Don't you know you're making me cry?
When it comes to this, I was supposed to admit defeat. How could I drag you down and fight for me?
"Sister Nesrin!"
Even when I thought that you would get hurt because of me, why am I so happy?
What you did made already my numb heart feel hot.
"Sister Nesrin! Huk! Huk!"
Inside the made-up elevated arena. Nesrin blocked the young man's fist with her spear.
She can hear Karl calling out for her and crying.
‘Silly child, why are you crying? Are you that move? Well, you better be because someone here is fighting for you.’
"You are strong, new student.”
"I guess I’m a little bit proud.”
He, a strong cultivator complimenting her like that, cannot help but smile.
“Did you know the saying ‘Don’t underestimate your opponent?’ nor ‘Judge a book by its appearance?’”
“Because those who underestimated me, end up dead.”
The two took a step backward and size up each other. They both attack once again with the same momentum leaving air and dust behind. Spirit energy colliding from the black spear, blocking and cutting his attacks.
Edunno could feel that the woman is on par with him. No. She was stronger than him.
She didn’t even use her spirit energy but keeps attacking him with pure strength.
Also, what kind of weapon is that if spirit energy cannot even break or make a scratch on it?
But the question is what kind of person this new student was. And who exactly is she?
She has a domineering aura that made Edunno felt nervous and secretly scared.
